Ok, so what would you name it? Do all movies have to have an obvious title?
I think you're overthinking it or it's been a long time since you've seen it.
She says in full,
"She got a place of her own. She don't tell me where. One night I follow her in a taxi and she goes to this fancy house in Coconut Grove. ... (I don't know) if there is a man there ... There was this car in the driveway. I know if I go in there, she kill me. She's like you. You better talk to her Tony, she don't listen to me ... she says to me, mira, shut up, mind your own business, exactly like you ... why do you have to hurt everything you touch? Why do you have to destroy everything that comes your way?"
Like what else do you need to know? Pretty concise reasoning spelled out completely in the dialogue. She is scared, frantic, does not know what her daughter has gotten herself into.
He said Harrison should keep the beard, not his character ...
And I agree! Harrison looks great with a beard, distinguished
Not sure why you think Miles Teller is the socially awkward introverted type. He continually plays asshole, big-headed characters and comes off that way in interviews, too. Seriously, watch one interview with him or the infamous Esquire interview he did. He's kind of an ass and he plays an ass well.
I agree that their marriage surprise plan was stupid, no idea why they thought that would go over well with Tony.
That has nothing to do with their mom though? Which is what this thread is about? Her mom was scared of who was there at the house. If they were criminal men holding her daughter, she would probably just get killed for trying to come herself. She knew her son was a criminal, a powerful one, so she asked him to go, thinking he wouldn't get assaulted and was powerful enough to stop whoever was holding her daughter. It's pretty simple.
Because she had no idea why she was there or who she was with? As a mother she would jump to the worst conclusions. She sees it's a wealthy place and that she has been tangled up with men who are like Tony, AKA dangerous and bad men. Tony would be the only person who could get her out of a dangerous situation.
If I had to guess, it just cut down the runtime. You could remove him and still understand the movie.
It did seem like it! He didn't blow up till she took the ring off.
The one on the dumb waiter didn't seem to know what was going on, it's worth saying.
I agree with you on the logic part, but what's the point of asking what's the point of cussing?
I mean, wouldn't you be screaming?
Well she felt awkward so she was acting awkward.
Not sure how this is like Cabin in the Woods at all
Did you miss the part where she thought he had 10 minutes to live and Harlan said the ambulance would take at least 15 minutes to get there?
Or are you saying if she just explained what happened to the EMTs, everything would have been fine? Because her being his nurse and recently changing his will to give her everything would have made her look very suspicious, she likely would have been accused of murdering him intentionally.
Orrr are you just stating the obvious that is said directly at the end of the movie when it is revealed that she didn't give him morphine at all?
I think it's implied that she must not have had such a strong relationship with her sister in the first place, or she would have obviously not believed Cecilia was capable of sending such an email and doesn't text/email her often enough to pick up her tone. She must be the only family Cecilia has which is why she went to her at all.
Yes, self awareness is good :)
That's dumb. If I was born in Spain and lived there until I was 4, I'm more prone to get tans and be tan for the rest of my life? Neither of her parents are Spanish, they're all white regardless of where they lived briefly.
Also, as I said, Enola isn't a typical Victorian English girl. They show her spending a significant amount of time outside growing up. So the "tan" she barely has still works for her character.
It's the mustache and haircut, good costuming and makeup. Look up recent pictures of him, he still looks good to me.
Not sure if you're joking, Millie is white and British as are both of her parents. She looked "lily white" to me in this, any "brownness" was probably a tan which worked for her character who wasn't brought up a proper lady and spent a lot of time outside.
It's from the books, which this movie is based on. So it was L. Frank Baum's brilliant idea, dingus.
